This simple perl script was designed under FreeBSD, and, right now, is
limited to it. It provides a simple way of determining and directing
administrators in what has to be done to get IPC working, and configured.
Usage:
ipc_check.pl
- simply checks for semaphores and shared memory being enabled
- if one or other is not enabled, appropriate "options" are provided
to get it compiled into the kernel
ipc_check.pl -B <# of buffers>
- checks to see if there are sufficient shared memory buffers to
run the postmaster with a -B option as provided
- if insufficient buffers are provided, appropriate 'sysctl' commands,
and instructions, are provided to the administrator to increase
them
